Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies promise to transform cancer research by advancing our understanding of cancer pathogenesis and significantly improving the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases.

The field of cancer research is the perfect arena for applying NGS, due to the genetic nature of the disease. Using NGS for cancer genotyping applications primarily involves the resequencing of genomic DNA, following targeted enrichment of samples. This strategy provides high sensitivity and coverage of the particular regions of interest, along with simplified data analysis and reduced costs.
